Pierpaolo Piccioli’s fall 2023 collection explored—and reinterpreted—every inch of formal dressing.
Since Pierpaolo Piccioli took the helm at Valentino in 2016 as the sole creative director, he’s more than proven he’s a master of stunning gowns, red carpet-worthy formalwear, and all things black tie.
Fall 2023 got to the heart of what black tie can be now. The 73-look collection explored nearly every corner of formal dressing: the little black dress, a modified tuxedo suit, the crisp white button-down, or an evening jacket—all occasion staples—were subverted here. Piccioli excelled in transforming these classics, making them new objects of desire that felt different enough to warrant a second glance. We’ve all seen the white button-down with a twist, but not yet from Piccioli’s point of view. For example, the cuff of a white button-down shirt was blown up and supersized. A blazer was covered in massive checkerboard prints with big shoulders.
A striped black-and-red sweater layered over a collared blouse with feather-embellished boots and a little black bag also showed that black tie doesn’t always have to be strictly formal. In 2023, anything goes: a cascade of red bows covering a blue shirtdress or a floor-length sequined pink coat are all fair game.
One could call fall 2023 the season of style signatures: At Saint Laurent, there were the oversized, big-shouldered blazers; Dior’s midi skirts dominated its collection. At Valentino, a skinny tie topped off almost every single look. This was proof of concept of personal style, but it also showed the power of a great, unexpected accessory that added a layer of personality and structure.
